Title: Florida Panhandle Part 3 - The Apalachicola National Forest And
Apalachicola Barrier Islands
Author: Tim Burton
Article:
Enjoy the Apalachicola National Forest is a mix of swamp,
spring, savannah, hiking and canoeing terrain - perfect for
exploring.
The most exhilarating way to explore is to hike along one of its
many trails or to canoe, from one of its many boat launches,
down the Ochlockonee River.
The Apalachicola National Forest is the largest national forest
in Florida consisting of two great rivers, the Ochlockonee and
the Sopchoppy.
There are numerous campgrounds and picnic areas throughout the
Forest so you do not have to be an athlete to enjoy it.
Take a look at Wakulla Springs which is west of the forest, and
is one of the deepest natural springs in the world. The scenery
is primitive and has understandably, been the setting for films
such as the Tarzan films.
Apalachicola Barrier Islands
Apalachicola, an old town south west of the forest, is the
state's oyster capital. The three marvellous Barrier Islands are
across the bay.
One of these is St George Island - a 28 mile barrier island. It
is still the least inhabited and is unspoilt, even though you
can get there by road. Its miles of white sand beaches are
uncrowded, great for swimming and catching a variety of fish.
You can see many gracious wildlife like turtles.
Take a break from the beautiful seashore and visit one of the
many restaurants serving fresh local seafood such as oysters of
course.
Or go shopping on the Island for clothing, beach stuff, gifts
and art.
Another of the Barrier Islands is Little St George Island.
Perfect for those who like a measure of isolation. The island is
about 75 miles from Tallahassee and is reached by bridge and
causeway from US 98.
You can camp for free, but bring your own facilities. There is
of course, the white sand beaches, bird watching (ospreys and
eagles), wildlife (yes, and racoons) and last but definitely not
least - fantaastic fishing.
The third of the Barrier Islands is the St Vincent Island. You
can only get there by boat.
But is has many fresh water lakes and salt water swamps. It is a
birdwatchers paradise.
